The Creative Type

Teacher participating during my art class



Dear Beautiful Art Fans,

It's been a while since I posted an entry. If you get my newsletter you will know I've been busy creating new pieces for my Featured Artist "Paint Alchemy" art show in April. 

In the mean time I have also taught several elementary art classes and a few adult classes at the La Jolla Community Center. I love it when my students express how happy they are that they took my class and they will tell their friends about it. In one particular firth grade class in Valley Center, a teacher decided to participate and paint herself as her students were having too much fun. You can see her create on the above image.

I have been contacted by a new art gallery in La Jolla, CA. It seems like a new opportunity to promote my work. Will keep you updated once I review their offer.

If you are in Vista, stop by the Vista Branch Library. My artwork proudly hangs among other talented artists. If you are in San Diego, I hope you do put aside April 17, 2015 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and stop by and see my featured show "Paint Alchemy".

I read an article that creative people and entrepreneurs make bad 9 to 5 employees. I could have told you that! But it's always good to know that it's not just me that is built this way, thus only had one job right after high school. I love the flexibility of owning my time and working on what needs to be done in my own timing.  Not sure I could handle a regular
9 to 5 job without feeling that part of me is dying.

Anyway, must get back to painting...this I can do 24/7.

Take care and stay cool.

Love,
Glad
